Bax EQ: Application Notes
1. COMBINING CUT AND LEVEL CONTROLS
Tip: , To achieve more bottom from a mix, cut first and then add. The result will be tighter, punchier low end.
Tip: , Leverage the BAX for tracking. Even in “cut only mode”, utilize it on every track to control the source’s frequency range,
thus dramatically focusing the energy and making the mix process a snap.
Tip: , Increase the tonal power by engaging the filters in conjunction with the boost/cut. Simultaneously boost with the main
controls and cut with the filter.
Tip:
, Engage the BAX in conjunction with a surgical style eq to improve the latter’s efficiency.
Tip: , Add to any outboard gear chain (i.e. mic pre, comp, eq) to take it from good to great without altering the original
character.

Now it’s your turn to actually put the BAX EQ through it’s paces (this is why you bought it, after all, right?)
Go ahead and engage the cut controls to remove the garbage and ease the burden on your converters. Remember, these are
remarkable shaping tools as well when employed with the shelving and level controls to gracefully sculpt Michelangelo-like audio
hillocks and valleys. Go forth and seek the audio truth amongst that audioscape.
